Another common desalination process is Reverse Osmosis. It involves a solvent passing through a semi-permeable membrane; meaning this particular membrane only allows some molecules to penetrate or pass through. The solvent will then go into a solution with higher concentration of molecules.
AquAdvantage salmon is the trade name for a genetically modified Atlantic salmon developed by AquaBounty Technologies. A growth hormone-regulating gene from a Pacific Chinook salmon and a promoter from an ocean pout were added to the Atlantic's 40,000 genes.M salmon can potentially achieve smoltification in only one year. This could allow genetically modified fish to reach freshwater quicker. The ability to reach freshwater first could allow genetically modified salmon to access more food with less competition from wild-type salmon.
Meet the Casper Fish. The Casper fish, a transparent zebra fish (Danio), was developed at the Childrenâs Hospital Boston for use in cancer research. Casper fish are the result of a cross between 2 mutant zebra fish, nacre and roy, that produce offspring with transparent skin and scales.These transparent tissues allow scientists to see how cancerous cells spread through the fishâs body as it grows and develops.arolina currently offers 2 kits in 2 versions each for the science classroom that feature adult Casper and zebra fish: the Casper Fish Observation Kits, recommended for students in grades Kâ4, and the Anatomy and Physiology of Casper Fish Kits, recommended for students in grades 5â12.
